139. • If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money
cannot buy.
If you didn't hear it with your own ears or see it with your own
eyes, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big
mouth.
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but
remember that what you now have was once among the things you
only hoped for.
140. • What would surprise you most about #Humanity?
Someone answered: "Man. Why?
Because he sacrifices his #health in order to make #money.
Then he spends money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the
present;
The result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never
really lived."
141. • The happiest people do not necessarily have the best of all things, they simply appreciate
what they find on their way.
Do you do GOOD things, because you fear #PunishmentAfterDeath?
An intelligent person does not need the promise of heaven to see the merit in good
deeds.
Most people spend their time trying to find someone to sleep with, instead of finding
someone worth waking up to.
Do you wait for somebody else to act on the task at hand?
I always wondered why somebody didn't do something about that, then i realizes i am
somebody.
"People grow old, not from working or playing hard, but because they quit working and
playing hard." Harvey Mackay

"The #World is in #Chaos because ..."
Things were made to be used;
People were born to be loved;
The reason why the world is in chaos is because
#Things were being loved;
and #People were being used.
Think before you speak!
T - Is it True?
H - Is it Helpful?
I - Is it Inspiring?
N - Is it Necessary?
K - Is it Kind?

subordinate, and by the way he treats someone who can do nothing for him."

When i was five years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life.
When i went to school, they asked me what i wanted to be when i grew up. I wrote down
"happy." They told me that i didn't understand the assignment and i told them they
didn't understand life. - author unknown.
Wrong is Wrong even if everyone is doing it. Right is Right even if no one is doing it.
Wise Men Talk Because They have something to Say; Fools, -because- They have to say
something :- Plato.
144. • When people cut you down or talk behind your back, remember, they
took time out of their pathetic lives to think about you.
Cree Indian proverb goes, it seems that “only when the last tree has
died, the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught, will
we realise we cannot eat money”.
